More Indigenous Australians are realizing their potential but many remain significantly disadvantaged compared to other Australians on all socio-economic indicators and one of the most disadvantaged peoples in the world. Increasing successful outcomes in Indigenous Higher Education is recognized as vital in addressing this disadvantage and closing the gap by creating a new generation of Indigenous Australians armed with a tertiary education. Whilst there is widespread agreement that disadvantage needs to be addressed and success achieved for Indigenous Australians, effective solutions remain elusive. This volume offers diverse analyses and research-derived new solutions for seeding success. The volume presents informed opinion underpinned by demonstrated theory, research, and practice and is written in an engaging and accessible style that will advance understandings of contemporary issues and point the way forward to seeding success. Encompassing a collation of chapters from leading researchers and thinkers, this book illuminates the complexity of Indigenous Higher Education issues and serves to identify successful solutions that have important international implications.
A largely unseen phenomenon is shaping the direction of higher
education today: the growth of leadership programs. These programs
are hidden ladders that help the talented move up toward university
presidencies. Their number and importance are rapidly increasing,
and they will more and more determine who makes decisions in higher
education. We need to know more about them. Lessons in Leadership is the first book to address them
directly, highlighting their histories and achievements. In it, the
directors of most major programs in the country describe their
focus, curriculum, and participants' reactions. The book especially
spotlights programs aimed at minorities, since they stand to
benefit most from them and since their participation will likely
have the greatest impact on U.S. higher education. Leadership programs are an intriguing, important, half-concealed force in higher education today. Lessons inLeadership reveals them to a wider public.
America faces a serious challenge: the looming surge in Latino
college enrollment. Latinos are now the largest minority in the
United States, accounting for 12 percent of the population. Yet
their presence is scarce in higher education, just 1.7 percent of
first-time, full-time students in American public universities in
1998 are Latino.
